Audrey was captivating, an extrovert, their mother's golden child. Bea was "different," too intense, and chronically lonely. Now, in her late twenties, Bea is back home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, her spirits finally buoyed by her plan to start a dog kennel. Inspired by the childhood dream she once shared with Audrey and old, now-estranged friends Tatum and Layla, she's sure this will be the perfect ode to her sister's memory. But as they reintegrate into one another's lives, Audrey's absence is keenly felt by all. Soon, simmering tensions and attractions emerge, and a sinister darkness breaks through to the surface. What do they really want? What happens when old secrets come to light?

Pero la dramática existencia de Celie cambiará cuando entre en su vida la amante de su marido, una extraordinaria mujer llama Shug Avery. Alice Walker traza en esta ya clásica historia, narrada en formato epistolar, un crudo y sin embargo bello relato del abuso hacia las mujeres y la comunidad afroamericana en los Estados Unidos de la primera mitad del siglo XX. El relato de ambas hermanas, merecedor del Premio Pulitzer y del National Book Award en 1983, se convierte en símbolo de una lucha que aún a día de hoy no hemos acabado de librar."--Back cover]]></description><link>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C1030412</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C1030412</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Walker, Alice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1030412181</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=OWLS2255&amp;password=CC54911&amp;Value=9788466344074&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Transcription]]></title><description><![CDATA["The narrator of this novel has traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, where he is to conduct what will be the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor and the father of his college friend Max.

She's lived through tragic loss and working in the family business, even after enduring a failed marriage and raising a child. So she's delighted when she finds a best friend in Della Thornton, a woman struggling with bad breaks and unlucky romances. Many years later, when Louise's father and her prosperous second husband pass away, Louise takes Della in and gives her a role in the restaurant as it grows more successful than ever . . . Louise is now convinced lasting love is not in the cards for her--until she runs into handsome Malcolm Purdy. He's everything she could want--outgoing, charming, and attentive. Soon they become engaged. And although Louise is dismayed that Della and Malcolm hate each other from the start, she does her best to keep the peace between the two people she cares about and trusts the most . . . But a chance encounter from the past shows Louise that neither Della nor Malcolm is quite who they say they are--and their deceit runs deeper and deadlier than she imagined. With her illusions in ruins, how far will she go to see justice served? And will her final shocking move cost her more than she's willing to lose?]]></description><link>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C1024212</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C1024212</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Monroe, Mary]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1024212181</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=OWLS2255&amp;password=CC54911&amp;Value=9781496743213&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Family Album]]></title><description><![CDATA[Through forty years -- from Hollywood's golden days in World War II to the present -- Faye Price would create first a career as a legendary actress, then a family, and finally she would realize her dream of becoming one of Hollywood's first woman directors.
